gushing; blushing

now that i have liquid fortification, i feel well prepared to officially flip my shit in writing over s/s08 balenciaga. i mean come the fuck on, is it not blowing your collective minds? i don't want to hear anyone copping out and crying that 'its not wearable/practical' or that it's 'bizarre/weird' it is straight gorgeous! i'll say the typical fashion bitch catchphrase (because it's true) 'its not supposed to be accessible' because its not, sorry, when has balenciaga been tame and something that is pleasing to everyone? that's what gives design momentum; offending and appalling gets you further than being bland and mildly saccharine. without the obscene there would be no progression of what is considered acceptable; no movement of trend. and honestly, if you cannot appreciate prints, yes prints, that look like intricate jaquards, lanyard whip stitching to fortify exoskeletal forms, and the matador-on-meth gladiator sandals then i really don't think we can continue seeing each other. its not me, its you. please see my design spank bank of images below.
